(Verse1)
You're far away, in a distant land
Though we've never met, I call you friend
Your life's been hard, since loving Christ
To follow Jesus, you've paid a price

(Pre-Chorus1)
You may not know; Do you realize?
To me you've been, a shining light

(Chorus1)
By your faith in Jesus and your love for God
By your strength in suffering and the peace within

(Verse2)
Your spirit's free, though you stand in chains
They seek to hurt you, for them you pray
In your weakness, you won't back down
And if death comes, you're Heaven bound

(Verse3)
Our lives are hard, since knowing Christ
We'll stand together, and shine His light
My Lord Jesus, fix our eyes on You
And give endurance, to bring us through

(Pre-Chorus2)
We may not know, do we realize?
To the world we are a shining light

(Chorus2)
By our faith in Jesus, and our love for God
By our strength in suffering, and the peace within
